Most Tare weights are fairy tales. Some manufacturers quote tares with no fuel in the tanks, no water in the radiator, no oils in engine, gearbox, diffs, etc. Often these are the Tare weights that appear on rego papers. My papers say 2385 - but I have no idea what that includes. Of course you also have to add passenger's weights to the equation - and then add bull bar, drawers, .................................................. ..

Not most, all. I know how it all works, well use 2 when I was working at a weighbridge 10 odd years ago. Was just curious 2 what their differences was.

I forgot to mention - one of the local car dealers supplied a brand new Patrol. It weighed in at 2500. Tare weight from a specification sheet is 2478. This vehicle was not registered and it was trucked from the dealer so I don't know how much fuel was in it.

So just jumped on the weighbridge before and no surprises there she is not far off GVM.
2840kg without my self .
So 75kg, added, it comes up to 2915kg.
1520kg front
1320kg rear
That is with:
both tanks 98% full, bull bar, winch, roof rack and awning, cargo barrier. 33" tyres and steel rims x 5. Which is what the car rides around with 90% of the time.
165kg to play with. Add the missus and my so, fridge
So apparently / technically I'm already illegal by long shot, going by ADR's. lol It's ridiculous.

Sorry to say Eric but your over your GVM. If yours is the same as mine, 3000kg. Or yours might be 3040kg being a factory TD42...You need to include 7 people at 80kegs each and two full tanks of fuel.

No you don't.
All it means is you can't carry 7 people and 2 full tanks because you have used some of your load carrying capacity up with accessories etc.
EG the 11 seater 70 series Troopies can't carry more than 4 to 7 adults unless we only fill one tank and take out some of our Emergency Response gear... our Rangers (that haven't had a GVM upgrade) cant carry a ton in the tray 5 people and tow our boats.
The only way to be over GVM is to physically be over GVM
Sooo if you weigh your car and know the starting weight (IE tare plus every thing bolted on etc) then you know how much payload you can have till GVM.

Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
